Terpel Gear Oil SAE 85W-140 API GL-5

Terpel Gear Oil SAE 85W-140 API GL-5 is formulated with highly refined mineral base oils and extreme pressure (EP) additives, designed for the protection of differentials, drive axles, and manual transmissions operating under heavy loads and severe service conditions.

Terpel Gear Oil SAE 85W-140 API GL-5

Technical characteristics

• Type: Mineral oil for automotive and industrial transmissions and gears.

• Viscosity grade: SAE 85W-140.

• Service level: API GL-5.

• Extreme pressure (EP) protection: High load capacity to withstand high torque, shocks, and thermal and mechanical impacts.

• Anti-wear and anti-corrosion protection: Effective safeguarding against rust and wear of hypoid and bevel gears.

• Thermal and oxidation stability: Resistant to degradation from high temperatures, preventing the formation of deposits, sludge, and varnish.

• Lubricant film resistance: Maintains a constant protective film even under continuous operation and high temperatures.

Classifications, specifications, and approvals

• International specifications (Meets the requirements of):

  • API GL-5

  • MIL-L-2105D

Applications

• Conventional and hypoid differentials in heavy-duty trucks, buses, vans, and commercial vehicles.

• Manual transmissions, final drives, and gearboxes that specify API GL-5 level.

• Agricultural, construction, mining, and public works machinery.

• Industrial equipment and facilities requiring a SAE 85W-140 viscosity gear lubricant with API GL-5 specification.

Recommended use

• Check the vehicle or machinery manufacturer's manual for the required SAE 85W-140 viscosity and API GL-5 classification.

• Avoid use in manual transmissions where the manufacturer specifies API GL-4 fluid or which use yellow metal components (bronze/brass) susceptible to corrosion from sulfurized additives.

• Store in tightly closed containers, in dry, cool areas protected from environmental humidity and direct sunlight.
